The Memorial Day weekend was undoubtedly one of the best for youth
cricket in America and www.newyorkcricket.com statistic-wise. With
the USACA National Under-19 tournament held in Brooklyn, NY during
May 22-25, the newyorkcricket.com site saw an incredible spike in
the number of visitors, pages viewed, and overall hits.

Over the four days of
cricket, the site saw close to 35,000 pages being viewed, the final
match played on Memorial Day, Monday, May 25th saw nearly 17,000
pages being viewed. There were 101,000 hits for the final and a
total of 194,000 hits for the tournament. Such staggering numbers
simply show the demand for cricket and cricket information via electronic
media.

The site also saw a tremendous
increase in visitors; on Monday there was 1,172 visitors, an increase
of nearly 90 percent from its usual average traffic of around 600
visitors.

The high volume of traffic
was merely the effort of the staff whose contributions could be
seen with reports and photos of all the games on a daily basis.

The experiment of live
score updates was the major boost for www.newyorkcricket.com as
it posted live score updates of the final on Monday, which skyrocketed
the statistics.

We can guarantee cricket
lovers we will continue to do the live score updates of major games,
such as league competition finals, the PSAL and the Mayor’s
Cup finals which will be staged on June 13th.

Once again we encourage
teams and leagues to send us their reports along with photos, we
would also appreciate advertisers to help us defray costs and at
the same time give the maximum exposure to their businesses.

We would like to thank
all those who continue to help make www.newyorkcricket.com a successful
site serving cricket and cricket-lovers, in the New York metropolitan
area and beyond.
